Healthy Tim Lynott Jr. a leader for CU Buffs offensive line

It doesn’t seem too long ago that Tim Lynott Jr., was a promising, young player who could be the anchor of the Colorado offensive line for years to come. Now, he’s a fifth-year senior preparing for his final go-round with the Buffaloes.

“It’s different,” Lynott said Monday after the Buffs’ fourth practice of spring. “It’s kind of weird to me that I’m the older guy. It’s taking on a new role, basically, and I still feel like I’m one of those sophomores or juniors. It’s a different role and I actually like it.”

The lone healthy senior on the offensive line (fellow senior Brett Tonz is limited this spring because of an offseason injury), Lynott is the most experienced player up front and one that new line coach Chris Kapilovic is relying on this spring.
